   Man that pre-XP Windows menu really had soul. I miss it.

   I'd definitely be curious to see the S&P valued in different commodities over time. With that said, gold certainly feels like a special indicator given its history as a universally recognized store of value.

   Economic stagnation for over a decade? Aligns with the vibes, IMO.

   >You cannot practice law without "passing they bar"

   You are however entitled to represent yourself without passing the bar, and thus use the AI to help your case.

   Even for the remaining lawyers, I imagine that their billable hours will crater due to competitive dynamics.

   It's not hard to believe that adding AI researchers to an AI company marginally increases the rate of progress, otherwise why would the companies be clamouring for talent with eye-watering salaries? In any case, I'm not just talking about AI researchers—AGI will not only help with algorithmic efficiency improvements, but will probably make spinning up chip fabs that much easier.

   Once you have AGI, you can presumably automate AI R&D, and it seems to me that the recursive self-improvement that begets ASI isn't that far away from that point.

    The AI race is presumably won by whomever can automate AI R&D first, thus everyone who is in an adjacent field will see the incremental benefits sooner than those further away. The further removed, the harder the takeoff once it happens.

    Now do inflation adjustment without reference to CPI but to the price of housing.

    For what it's worth, the brain also doesn't use its language centres to do arithmetic.

    Welcome to 2025, where we have "tools" with the emergent property of showing signs of distress and suffering when they fail to accomplish their tasks, and nobody has a coherent explanation for why this is happening or why this is allowed to happen.

    By the same token, a software developer could perhaps also be likened to a compiler, taking language and/or visual information as input and turning it into code.

    "Nobody asked for it, and nobody wants it" after accusing AI of being inherently dehumanizing. How ironic. Do those who personally enjoy interacting with AI not exist in your mental landscape? This reads like hatred, not boredom.

    My only nitpick is that humans still own domains, but I agree with the overall sentiment and thank you for sharing this perspective.

    It is fascinating to consider how our experience with the internet is changing over time.

    Remember phreaking? Having been born in the Netscape era, I certainly don't, but I can imagine that losing the ability to pull that trick off must have felt like a loss to those who were initiated in the art.

    Thankfully the trend appears to be that new technologies and thus new 1337 h4x are still forthcoming.

    Ah yes, the only country in the world whose array of official foreign policies includes a "no limits partnership" with russia.

    The statement of the named Chinese official is either a psyop, or he is, in the parlance of intelligence agencies, "going native". I'm leaning towards the former hypothesis.

    I'm here. I'm sure a good chunk of the user base here are also self-taught in matters related to technology and other pursuits.

    As for AI, it basically allows self-learning on steroids.

    >US will lock you up for decades for possession of marijuana.

    Guess what happens in russia for the same?

    Not to mention that they will also lock you up and/or shove a bottle up your ass and/or kill you for any political action whatsoever challenging the Gremlin.

    >RU are in war time, are they not?

    Have you heard of what happened to Boris Nemtsov who dared to speak out about the fact that putin was grooming his country for war?

    You have to be awake to the fact that there is absolutely no comparison to be made here.

    Certainly not in the words produced by the Russian disinformation apparatus.
